  5. Some assessment techniques which support learning (Formative) • Blogs can be responded to and a conversations carried out UNTIL a level of depth or complexity is reached • Text files can undergo a multitude of measures, from word counts, to complexity and depth measures available right in MS Word. • Wiki’s can be used as a running development process, rather than a just graded. • Scratch pad, audio, and video production can provide learners with products they enjoy and own

  6. Technologies as assessments- many combinations (Summative) • Blogs can be graded based on length • Text files can be graded for grammar • Wiki’s can be graded for content breadth • Spoken language can be graded on rubrics of fluency, articulation, accuracy etc.. • Video / audio on aesthetic
